Hot =emu= act, thisGIRL have announced their departure from record company, Lockjaw.

"We felt it was time to move on, as there were things Lockjaw just
couldn't do for us. If you want to get more out of me than that you'll just have
to track me down after a few pints... " said front-man Liam Creamer.

The band are expected to sign to a major label in the new few months, with
four labels rumoured to be vying for their attentions.

Meanwhile the four-piece have also just completed recording a series of new
tunes scheduled to be released later this year.

Guitarist Chris Shepherd said of the new stuff, "The songs are
much stronger, not just in production 'cos we got to work with some amazing
people, but we also finally got time to really focus on the song-writing. I'm
really happy with these and I hope people like them. I just can't wait to get in
to record our new album though, its going to be wicked."

thisGIRL will be headlining the Highbury Garage on the 30th of May, which
they have cheekily monikered Upload, one of their only gigs until winter,
before heading into the studio to work on their forthcoming album. Support comes from TheBlueprint and MillionDead.

The bands have also announced that the first 25 ticket holders through the door receive a t-shirt of the band of their choice. Which is pretty choice.
